Basic Math
Navigating Life's Unequal Equations with Retirement Party's 'Basic Math'
Lyrics
I saw one and two
I observed the numbers one and two.
I never needed
I never felt a necessity.
I want but I don't choose
I desire things, but I don't actively make choices.
I hope you're seeing
I hope you're understanding or perceiving something.
That yeah you're gonna lose
Indeed, you will face defeat or setbacks.
But everyone has
Everyone possesses something.
I can't lie anymore
I cannot deceive or be dishonest any longer.
This state is such a chore
The current situation is burdensome or tedious.
I block out with metaphors
I distract myself with figurative expressions.
That shit would hurt much more
The truth would be more painful.
Outcomes aren't symmetrical
Results or consequences are not balanced or equal on both sides.
I run in special shoes
I engage in activities with specialized equipment or under unique circumstances.
My knees are giving
My knees are causing more issues than my younger self would have allowed.
Me more problems than my youth
Physical problems surpass those experienced in my youth.
Would ever let in
I sensed the potential losses.
I felt what I could lose
I understand what I could potentially lose.
I know its candid
I acknowledge that it's straightforward or unposed.
I can't lie anymore
I can no longer be untruthful.
I've been running the score
I've been keeping track of the results or outcomes.
Odds are unfavorable
The probabilities are not in my favor.
These missing chemicals
There are essential components missing or absent.
Outcomes aren't symmetrical
Results or consequences are not balanced or equal on both sides (repeated).
